Taking a look at the back to see how the cats are doing, Monk is shocked to see a gaping opening in the fence, right where the cats like to play. One of the boards of the fence had been removed. Unsure if it is just paranoiac energy, he suspects that one of the school kids saw the cats and tried to grab one.
He was glad to see that all the cats were there, but he needed to cover that opening, not wanting one of the kittens to get out and get lost. At first, he got one of his old posters, and took it apart to use the hardboard frame. When he went outside to get to work on it, he saw the half-board that had been broken off and decided to just nail that back in place.
Unfortunately, this hammering apparently spooked Calico and she was gone. When Monk finished nailing the board back in place, he heard the neighbor dogs barking furiously in the Neumann yard. Worrying about Calico, he took a look, and he froze at the sight.
Calico was standing atop the wooden fence, with the huge boxer-like dog barking and bounding up on the fence at the cat. Calico was frozen looking down at the dog, with the fence shaking from the dog's attack. I think there was another dog on the other side of that fence. Calico was stuck on the high wire playing without a net.
Monk yelled in what one would think has to be a vain attempt to shoo the dog away, but it actually worked. The dog backed off, and then retreated all the way into his own yard. Calico stayed frozen where she was, though she looked in Monk's direction. He was thinking that Calico should be able to make it even if the dog came back, but Calico apparently didn't like the odds.
Monk went to see about getting into the Neumann yard, grabbing the nail-stick on the way. Instead of going in and taking his own chances with the huge, young dog, he banged on the fence to get him away from Calico, and Monk kept the dog occupied for a minute or so.
When Monk went back and took a look, he was glad to see that Calico was gone. But he didn't have any idea where to. She apparently didn't come back to our yard. But he was relieved to see her later in the evening, hiding by the a/c fan.
Can't you tell who your friends are, Calico? But I guess it's a very dangerous world, nine lives or not.
